Very informative. Thank you. I m recovering after an open hernia surgery. I am following all these instructions

Music to loud

Good video..but The audio sucks

I have a hernia and to have surgery for it I love your video chief Matt 😔😔😔🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hi Dr, how do I start loading the core to get back to advanced training? I had umbilical and epigastric hernia repair, as well as diastasis recti up the midline surgery 5 days ago with subcutaneous onlay laparoscopically. The pain at this point is still very intense, like hot knives in my belly button. I have a drain in for a week and a binder to support me. I have a background of calisthenics, running, yoga and gymnastics and really want to get back to this. I'd lost a lost of strength and muscle weight prior to the surgery, after a gnarly post op infection from my wisdom tooth extraction surgery, so feel like i've got a long road ahead. Want to get strong again but not overdo it and bust something. Any suggestions on what to do when would be welcome. I'm trying to seek out some local physiotherapist support for my rehab. There is such varied advice out there, and I had very minimal guidance from the surgeon. Basically just, you should be fine to do most stuff after a few weeks. Not great advice for me as I'd be back to busting out gymnastics rings pull ups Cheers

Useful video but really let down by the terrible audio. Music far to loud, EQ needs adjusting, bad mic, and generally very hard to hear

Tips and information for recovering from Hernia Surgery if you live alone. These are things you should do before you leave the house to go for surgery. Cook and prepare a week’s worth of meals and snacks before surgery. Meals that will be easy to pass through your digestive system. Things like vegetable soup with beans, carrots, celery…, oatmeal with prunes, egg salad, chicken salad, steamed carrots and broccoli, asparagus… low fat and low grease type foods. Snacks like apples, oranges, *ripe* bananas, all kinds of fruits are good to keep things moving. Start taking a stool softener one or two days before surgery and then continue taking it when you get home. Place something next to your toilet you can grab onto to help you get on and off the toilet. Do the same for your bed and other areas you may sit. Have toothpaste, toothbrush, and floss out and ready to use. A glass of water to rinse your mouth out. You’re not going to be able to bend over to _cup water_ in your hands. If you don’t already have a _grabber,_ get one. Do not take your phone to surgery. Leave your phone at home on your nightstand and fully charged. Have on hand at least two ice packs that you can wrap a clean cloth around to put over the location of surgery and rotate them from the freezer as needed. This will keep the swelling down. Read your after surgery instructions and follow them. Listen to your doctor and follow his/her orders. Keep the wound area clean and clean it with an antibacterial soap every morning and again before you go to bed at night. The next day get up and walk but be careful. I walked outside around the cul-de-sac four times a day starting the day right after surgery. Twice in the morning, once in the afternoon, and then again in the evening. Have clean sheets on your bed. Wear loose fitting clothes. Have plenty of water and Gatorade on hand and before you leave for surgery place a few bottles on your nightstand, computer desk, kitchen table, kitchen counters, your television chair, and in your refrigerator. Drink plenty of liquids. At least four bottles per day. Take pain medication as needed but don’t over do it. All pain medications can cause constipation. A thermometer on your nightstand. A list of movies you may want to watch. I can’t sugarcoat this for you. The first three days are going to be tough so be ready. It gets easier on your fourth day. Good luck and I hope this helps.

Why music in this serious info. Video. Horrible
